The manager of boxer Fedor Chudinov promised to sue the WBA after the lost fight
Fedor Chudinov's manager, Umar Kremlev, has vowed to sue the World Boxing Organization (WBA) after the Russian boxer lost a fight to German Felix Sturm. According to the Kremlin, Chudinov was sued.
According to the manager, the lawsuits will be filed in Germany, where the fight took place, and in the US, where the WBA is registered. The Kremlin also promised to seek revenge.
The fight took place on February 20 in Germany. It went on for all 12 rounds. Felix Sturm won by decision of the judges. Panama referee Ignacio Robles awarded the draw 114-114 , while France's Jean-Louis Leglan and Italy's Giuseppe Cartarone gave Sturm a 115-113 lead. In terms of the number of blows, the Russian athlete surpassed his opponent - 1022-605.
Fedor Chudinov before this fight was the WBA champion in weight up to 76.2 kg. The defeat in Germany was the first in his career. Before that, he won 14 times.
“This is another life lesson to learn. And I will pass it, come back and prove to everyone that such victories, which Felix has now won, are shameful. For example, I would not want to be given the victory in a lost battle. I would just die of shame. It is to Felix that I have no complaints, but I believe that this is not a real victory, ”Chudinov said after the fight.
- Fedor Chudinov, 28, has already dated Felix Sturm. In May 2015 in Germany, he defeated him by split decision and became the WBA champion. The 37-year-old Sturm has five losses, three draws and 40 wins in his career.
